Good Friday!

Today was a wonderful day - Good Friday, indeed. We welcomed the newest member of our family into the world today - Wren Peterson. She is an amazing, sweet little girl who has already captured the hearts of those who have met her.

She came at 3:42 AM after a pretty quick delivery. She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz. and has a little bit of dark hair - which is way more and way darker than any of the other three. She has a sweet disposition and is just as happy as can be - that is until I jinxed it by writing that last sentence. Melody and Wren are both doing great.

I will post more details later, but wanted to get a few pictures out there for you to see.

Oh Melody! She is soooo perfect! It even makes me baby hungry! You have such a sweet little family. I hope they are enjoying Wren. I don't do much blogging anymore, but I somehow reminded myself that you were due this month, and I'm so glad I checked your blog to see your new addition. And a 2 hour labor? WOW!! How'd you do that? I truly hope you're enjoying this little girl, and that you're doing well! Congratulations!!!!!
